IMPROVEMENT IN HEATING STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,496, dated March12, 1872.

Specification describing a new and useful Improvement in Stoves,invented by WILLIAM H. LANDON, of Princeton, in'the county of OX- ford,in the province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada.

My invention consists of a combination of an interior fire-shell and adamper with that class of stoves comprised mainly of a horizontalelliptical shell with its major axis in a vertical plane, in such manneras to greatly economize the heat. It also consists of a novelarrangement of ventilating-damper.

Figure 1 is a transverse section of my improved stove, and Fig. 2 is alongitudinal section.

The said stove is composed of two end plates of cast-iron, of an ovalform, the front one having an extension, B, forming a hearth and ashpit,and near the bottom of the hinder one is'an opening, 0, for aventilating-damper, D, and also for removing any ashes which may bedeposited within the hot-air space. 011 the inner side of these plates,near their edges, a groove is formed in the casing to receive the outershell, which is made of Russia or other suitable sheet-iron. Within thelatter there is another parallel groove, extending about threefourthsthe distance around the stove, to receive the inner shell or fire-plateE. The space between the shells, which I call the flame-flue, is abouttwo inches, more or less. The inner shell or fire-plate E commencesabout the cenforces the flame into the flame-flue and around shell E.IVhen turned in the other direction, such connection is direct, and astrong draught is obtained for kindling the fire or quickening thecombustion. The ventilating-damper is cast upon a shoe which fits thecurve of the shell, on which it rests, and keeps the damper in position.

I do not limit myself to the oval or any particular form of stoves.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent The stove A, provided with corrugated lining E,dampers I and D, all as shown and described, and for the purpose setforth.
